How to file for a CRBA DNA test?

A Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) is an official document issued to a child born outside the United States to a U.S. citizen parent. This document serves as proof of U.S. citizenship and can be used for legal purposes, but it is not a birth certificate.

When applying for a CRBA, a U.S. embassy or consulate may request a DNA test if the submitted evidence is not sufficient to establish a biological relationship. DNA testing remains voluntary but may be necessary to confirm eligibility for the CRBA.

All DNA testing is performed by our AABB-accredited partner laboratory, ensuring your results meet the standards required by U.S. embassies, consulates, and passport agencies worldwide.

How much does a CRBA DNA test cost?

The cost of a DNA test for obtaining a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) varies depending on the country where the beneficiary resides. For specific pricing information based on your country, contact our office at 646-383-9778 to speak with a DNA consultant. This type of test is typically required when there are questions regarding the child’s paternity or the mother’s citizenship.

Frequently Asked Questions

The turnaround time for immigration DNA test results depends on the location of the petitioner and beneficiary:


Both in the United States: When both the petitioner and beneficiary reside in the United States, results are typically available within three business days after the laboratory receives all DNA samples.


Beneficiary outside the United States: When the beneficiary resides in another country, the overall timeline depends on the processing times at the relevant U.S. embassy or consulate. After all DNA samples arrive at the testing laboratory, the DNA report is usually available within three business days.


Remember, Our partner laboratory does not coordinate DNA sample collection appointments abroad. The responsibility for coordinating these appointments lies with U.S. embassies or U.S. consulates.

The preferred method of DNA sample collection is performed by cheek buccal swab.

A DNA test is not required for U.S. visa issuance. DNA testing remains a voluntary option. The immigration office may recommend DNA testing when primary evidence—such as birth certificates, school records, or medical records—does not sufficiently establish a claimed biological relationship.

In these situations, DNA testing provides an additional method for petitioners to demonstrate proof of relationship. Undergoing a DNA test does not guarantee approval of an immigrant visa. The final decision rests with the immigration officer assigned to the case.

DNA testing is a reliable option for supporting a CRBA application. All tests are performed by an AABB-accredited partner laboratory, ensuring your results will be recognized by USCIS, U.S. embassies, consulates, and passport agencies worldwide.


Every DNA sample is tested twice for accuracy. Results confirming a biological relationship meet or exceed a 99.99% probability threshold, which satisfies the evidentiary standard required for submission.
